Calm Down Gang

I was at "Ground Zero" many summers ago when that House was shut down. There seemed to be a real schizm between the alumni and chapter members at the time, so not wanting the heritage of the chapter to get lost in the shuffle, some LHU brothers and myself went through the house and packed up all of the LCA items that were of any value and put them in my old town house's cellar.

That being said, the ritual equipment and books were taken by Larry Mansfield several weeks prior and were shipped off to the vault at the end of Raiders of the lost ark. All this was back in 2000. Later on Andy Longo at LCA coordinated several local alumni to come to get all the stuff from me to put it into storage for safe keeping. Now there was some stuff left at the house, tons of old BS papers and assorted LCA junk. Unless someone squirreled away a ritual book inside a wall, I doubt there was much of anything left there anymore (besides a large item that was smashed in the front yard which I will not discuss on here) that was rendered into so much scrap wood.

Now the sad thing for our trash sifting friend here is like so many band wagon collectors that I have seen. For example; I have collected old comic books and related collectibles for maybe 15 years now; for the most part not much of it is worth anything, however some 15% of it has some worth. But everyone who has a spiderman action figure or an old 1970's Superman comic assumes it is "WORTH BIG BUCKS" however, in most cases this is wrong and they fail to consult anyone until they embarrass themselves at some point. To close it out, this fellow has our "Ritual : What and Why", which is red in color with an hourglass on the cover. I also collect and have a fair deal of knowledge on the limited world of LCA collectibles and paraphenlia, I am curious to see how upset this fellow gets his intended buyer when they see what it is they have purchased.

Pizza Man; what Phi Tau Channels did you hear this from? Dave Warden? You should check with me before you get upset about this kind of stuff!
